Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Waters

AMZ700-171015-
507 PM AST Fri May 16 2025

.SYNOPSIS FOR PUERTO RICO AND THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS WATERS...
A broad surface high pressure over the central Atlantic will continue
to promote moderate to locally fresh easterly winds through tonight.
As a result, small craft should continue to exercise caution. Over
the weekend and into early next week, a surface trough will gradually
weaken these winds. At the same time, a deep trough to the west of
the region will support an unsettled weather pattern, with a high
chance of thunderstorm development through at least Saturday. These
storms could lead to locally higher winds and seas. In addition, hazy
conditions are likely over the next few days due to the presence of
Saharan dust.
